Buffalo Chicken Nachos

A Sunday afternoon in the Fall is No Thank You Boy's favorite time of the year. Football games continue one right after another from early afternoon all the way into the late evening. And an integral part of watching football games for him is the eating of football food.

Nachos are on every sports restaurant/bar menu with the usual ingredients of tortilla chips, seasoned ground beef, beans, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. This version of the pseudo-Mexican snack is good enough on its own, but I decided to change up a few ingredients to suit No Thank You Boy's spicy taste buds and affinity for chicken. Buffalo Chicken Nachos combine shredded chicken with Frank's Hot Sauce and cheddar and blue cheeses on top of blue and white corn tortilla chips. After a few minutes in a hot oven, the nachos are topped with celery, tomatoes, and scallions.

It is only 2 days until Sunday. Make sure you have the ingredients to make Buffalo Chicken Nachos and sit back and cheer on your favorite football team.
